    Ok I am getting a box of Beneficial Predatory Nematodes.....they look like the answer to my problem with grubs and japanese beetles! Not to mention the poor little skunk that is now putting holes in my lawn because he loves the grubs.

    My question is has anyone used these? It says they start working in 24 to 48 hours.

    I don't feel sorry for those bugs that are eating my plants I have the stink bugs all over my Spaghetti Squash my plants are running everywhere and theses bugs are causing them to die.Thery are turning brown .I'm sick of those devils .I need some of the Predatory Nematodes if they would eat those.
